I love love love persimmons and the season is at it’s best right now. I was so lucky to visit a town called Sangju this weekend which is famous for dried persimmons. In Korea every town seems to be famous for something…

They always leave some for the birds.

We originally wanted to buy 50 persimmons but the grandmother insisted we should buy 100. Well you can’t really say no to Korean halmoni…
